: Techno music has been the trendy musical rage for
: awhile. You've all heard it at clubs, radio stations,
: and bar mitzvahs, and like all trends, it is finally
: starting to die off. Why it has lasted as long as it
: has is something that has baffled this mind for a long
: time. I have yet to see why a bunch of computer-
: generated sounds clumped together with a driving
: rhythm are categorized as music, and am glad to see
: that music is finally going back to what I classify as
: "real" music.
Obviously, this writer has been exposed to a very limited
amount of "techno". I would agree with her if I had never
heard of Mad Mike or Derrick May or... too many to list.
